Steve Wynn vs Joe Francis

[tommyt]

Steve Wynn is a class guy. I think he is in the right here, especially given the character of Joe Francis.

BTW, Steve Wynn actually refused to take the action of megawhale Terry Watanabe, who enriched Harrah's with $204 million in gambling winnings and accounted for 5.6% of their revenue that year. Wynn met with Watanabe, decided that he was a problem gambler, and barred him from the property. He gave up hundreds of millions in likely winnings and let Harrah's have Watanabe's action.

That's a good guy in my book.

i agree with all that you said, but i would like to point something out for you. in this article http://todayentertainment.today.com/...nder-case?lite it was expressed that "Wynn's attorney on Friday had asked the panel to award the billionaire $12 million plus punitive damages to send a message that false statements that travel far in the Internet age will not be tolerated." which confuses me a little bit. Do you or anyone know if his claims were on the internet first? If that is true then slander could include web based statements.

that is all
